For me, there is some inherent appeal in most of the covers, just from the standpoint of liking the source material and being able to look at it afresh with a performance that I don't already have memorized. But I also kind of feel like the artists/performances were carefully selected so as not to outshine her or deviate too much from the original. Some of it even feels like what Ringo herself would have done with the material if she were releasing it today instead of ~20 years ago.
